Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

The painting of Glencoe captures the breathtaking beauty of the Scottish Highlands. The prominent, dramatic mountain rises on the left, its shadowed face contrasting with the vivid, expansive sky. The scene is bathed in warm hues of orange and red, elegantly mingling with cooler blues and purples, creating a stunning interplay of light and shadow. A serene river cuts through the landscape, reflecting hints of the sky, while two silhouetted figures add a human element to the vast, unspoiled wilderness. The painting is a masterful blend of impressionistic brushwork and vivid color contrasts, celebrating nature's majestic tranquility.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Acrylic or oil paints matching the color palette provided
  • Brushes: flat, round, and fan
  • Canvas or canvas board
  • Pencil for sketching
  • Palette for mixing colors

Using the Line Drawings and Grid

Begin by printing the line drawing and optional artist’s grid included in your Paint-Your-Own Pack. Use the grid to maintain accurate proportions while transferring the drawing to your canvas. The lines will help you locate the key elements of the composition such as the mountain, sky, river, and figures.

Painting Steps

  1. Sketch the Basic Outline
    • Use a pencil to lightly sketch the outlines following the line drawing. Focus on the mountain, river, figures, and key horizon lines.
  2. Block in the Sky and Background
    • Start with the sky using a large flat brush. Mix cool blues and purples, adding lighter yellows and whites to capture the dramatic sky’s movement and light.
    • Add rough cloud formations and blend softly to create a natural, flowing effect.
  3. Define the Mountain
    • Using deep blues and subtle purples, block in the shadowed areas of the mountain. Work from the top down, allowing the form to emerge naturally.
    • Add hints of sunlight with warm oranges and red tones on the mountain edges to convey the sunlit effect.
  4. Paint the Foreground and River
    • Mix contrasting greens, oranges, and reds for the ground. Use bold, expressive strokes to capture the textured grass and earth.
    • For the river, use reflections of the sky colors. Blend blues and whites smoothly, adding touches of orange for the reflections of the sunset.
  5. Detail the Silhouettes
    • Carefully paint the figures using a small round brush and strong dark tones, ensuring they are silhouetted against the lit river.
    • Keep their shape simple and stylized to complement the impressionistic style.
  6. Final Touches
    • Review your painting for balance and unity. Add any final highlights or shadows to enhance depth and contrast.
    • Use a fan brush for subtle blending in the sky or grass if needed.
